What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During aerial spray operations the pilot struck a wire. The pilot was unaware that he had hit anything and experienced no indications that would lead him to believe he had a problem. He was operating out of Hanover Airport which is his home base. Upon completion of the spray he returned to base and was informed that someone had witnessed him striking a wire. He did an inspection of the aircraft and found minor damage on the prop and aircraft wing.
